This book is a good read it helps you understand how habits add up and thus helping you create a better system not habits. A good read for anyone wanting a change. It breaks down how to train a good habit. The author offers multiple worksheets of you want to attempt building/evaluating existing habits on improving and fine tuning.
Pair this book up with The Happiness Project and The Bullet Journal Method and it all builds on top of each other for better habits that lead to a happier more organized life.

I like how this book was really concrete on how to manage your habits. It's not full of "life-hacks" or "this way worked for me so that's how you should do it," because that's what a lot of habit books feel like to me. Here are my main take-aways:
- Focus on your systems, not necessarily your goals. You don't rise to your goals, you fall back to your systems
- His ice cube analogy and the threshold of change. (if you change by one degree everyday, you won't notice change until you cross a certain threshold but it doesn't mean change isn't happening).
- Acheive clarity. "I will do (this activity) at (this time) at (this place)."
- Environment is greater than motivation. Change contexts.
- Self-control is only a short term strategy
- An anticipation of a reward spikes more dopamine than actually receiving the reward
- Habits are ususally responses to evolutionary desires (belonging, eating, reproduction). Use the base desire to shift it to something positive. (Desire for belonging: stop scrolling Instagram and make a lunch date with friends).
- Focus on quantity over quality. Just get your reps in. Establish first, then improve.
- Habits are necessary but are not sufficient for mastery. Make time for deliberate practice.
